inb4 retards spout "there's a legend about a raging dragon that lost its dragon status" which only has citations leading to Pokémon fan sites or discussion boards.

It's a wind sock. Makes more sense for it to be flying. It also make M-Gyara's idle animation make more sense.

The whole point of dragon type was to be a surprise type at the end of the game that resisted all three starter types and was super rare. Putting it halfway through the game would defeat the purpose

It's already halfway through the game. Dratini is available before the fourth gym.

Gyarados is a fucking koinobori/windsock, that's why it's part flying.

It's not really obscure if the game literally forces you to go there right?

And even then the Safari Zone is before the fifth gym, which still counts as "halfway through the game". Just admit you were wrong.

Why are people consistently assblasted over dragon Pokemon not getting the shitty Dragon-type?

>mfw Water/Flying is one of the best typings in-game
>mfw Fire/Flying is an amazing typing especially for physical flyers even with rocks

No, you're retarded. Dratini is very difficult to get and can't be caught outside of the Safari Zone. It's intended to be a hidden prize.

Okay. I guess I can't really argue with your headcanon. Also, you admitted the game corner thing before so if you're going to deny reality you could at least be consistent about it. Silly.

>>37177711
It's more of a lore thing, IMO.

They just threw it in later in at the last second for thematic reasons along with ghost.

Objectively wrong.
